Tuileries at de Bortoli Rutherglen

I’ve stayed at Tuileries DeBortoli Rutherglen numerous times. Last week we stayed the one night while travelling from Sydney to Melbourne. The vineyard rooms are spacious with everything you need and a lovely view across our own deck to the vineyard and a very short walk into the centre of the town. The recently renovated bathrooms are a big improvement and now include a separate bath (previously was a large spa bath). The cellar door offers tastings and allows you to buy their very good wines to take back to your room. The restaurant is good although we didn’t dine there last week. Overall it’s a really top spot to stay in Rutherglen.

We had a spacious and modern Vineyard View Room for 2 nights. Even though it was winter and the vines were bare, the frost and the fog added to the ambiance. The hotel offers a continental buffet on weekdays and a hot a la carte breakfast on weekends. We enjoyed both, as well as the Happy Hour and snacks in the wine bar. The hotel location is ideal to explore quaint Rutherglen town, and also to visit the many local wineries for cellar door tastings. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend Tuileries at De Bortoli Rutherglen for a country getaway.

Lovely large room. Nice view. Quiet and peaceful. We stayed two nights and enjoyed the stay. Room had minibar, cutlery and crockery, comfortable large bed. Spa bath and shower in large bathroom. One of the best Australian stays we have had.

From the moment we arrived until our departure we were well looked after. Warm and informative reception greeting, a beautiful room with a stunning view over the autumn vines, a huge spa bath (unexpected treat), wine tasting with a cheeseboard and a three course meal worthy of a big city location. Our room literally contained everything we needed for a truly memorable stay (even a toaster and coffee pod machine) Highlight was the amazing service from the woman looking after breakfast along with the delicious food catering for dietary requirements. Highly recommend experiencing this wonderful place in the heart of beautiful Rutherglen. We will be back.

Tuileries is always wonderful! We had a new room at the end of the units and everything was just perfect. We love the deck and the view of the winery. Facilities are great and restaurant is always very pleasing. Wine tastings and gallery are a great addition now.

We spent two nights at Tuileries in one of the Vineyard Rooms. We booked one night with the Dinner Package and then one night without. Overall the rooms are starting to get a bit dated in their fixtures and fittings, the furniture is a little sparse and has a bit of a "holiday unit" vibe. Our friends were staying in a different room and their furniture was different to ours so not sure if some are being improved. A real disappointment was that there was a note on our Spa indicating it was not working - our friends in two other rooms had working Spas so not sure why ours wasn't working. My partner was really looking forward to the spa bath. Bathroom fittings are really starting to get very old and dated, the showerhead is an old style metal one that you see in many older style homes and could easily be updated to something a little more modern. Dinner at Tuileries restaurant was lovely - we booked the package that included a two course meal which was ample for us. We had considered purchasing a third course but the meals were generous portions so we didn't need anything more. It is a shame they no longer offer the Wine Buffet as this was a real feature we loved about Tuileries in the past. Breakfast is a continental basket delivered to your door, there was ample food supplied and it was delivered pretty much bang on when they said they would. The only annoying thing is that on a Saturday they don't start breakfast until 8am which meant due to our needing an early departure we didn't get to have a breakfast on our last day. The location is perfect - within a short walk from the main town and also nice and easy access to all the wineries. As a benefit of being a guest you are entitled to complimentary wine tastings at the De Bortoli Cellar Door at the hotel, as well as 10% of purchases which was quite nice. MiniBar: I will give them credit their wine in the minibar isn't too badly priced compared to the cellar door. My tip though is go buy the wine at the cellar door with your 10% discount and then take back to drink in your room as you will save money. Overall it was another lovely stay at Tuileries (my third time staying there) I would return but would like to see them spend a little to just tidy the place up a bit and improve some of the fixtures in the rooms.
